[or-cvs] introduced a periodic keepalive padding cell

People living behind fascist firewalls (like Peter) will enjoy this patch,
I hope. Let me know if the default keepalive frequency (every 300 seconds)
is sufficient.

If we're only an onion proxy and the connection has no active circuits
it is expired; else we send a padding cell.
